WildStorm is a comics imprint founded by Jim Lee in 1992, currently published by DC Comics.

Originally an imprint of Image Comics featuring characters who appeared in the Image Universe, WildStorm was named for two of its flagship titles: Wild CA Ts and Stormwatch. During this time, it also introduced characters and concepts like Gen¹³ and Midnighter.

WildStorm was officially integrated into the DC multiverse as Earth-50 in 52, but waning market interest and declining sales led to its discontinuation in 2010. Many WildStorm characters and concepts (like Stormwatch, Grifter, and Midnighter) were imported into The DCU as part of the New 52, featuring prominently in their own titles as well as others.

Six years after its discontinuation, however, it was announced that DC Comics would be rebooting the WildStorm imprint in 2017. Inspired by the critical success of Gerard Way's Young Animal imprint, it brings back re-imagined favorites like Grifter, Jenny Sparks, and the Wild CA Ts in a reset continuity. Warren Ellis, who led Stormwatch's transition into The Authority, is overseeing the line, as well as writing its flagship title The Wild Storm.
